Alan Weisman on his book "The world without us" provides us an overview on how we - humans - are having a highly negative effect on nature. At the beginning of chapter 1 he contrasts the power of humans to that of the nature making reference to an old forest located between Poland and Belarus which is more vulnerable day after day. This reality has increased since the democracy and independance instauration which makes us infer that the more advances we have in society, the less care human pay to nature.

“Boston Navy Yard and the ‘Great War,’ 1914-1918”\”
valentinak56 [21]

Roosevelt had big plans in relation to the military power that the USA would have because of that, he decided to empower the American navy, providing resources and technologies, to expand and modernize it, as the text says. However, he stated that the reason for investing in the navy was protection in the country, not involvement in the conflict between European countries as we can see from the excerpt "Just after the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared that the United States would remain neutral. It would become the job of the Navy to protect the nation's neutrality at sea and at home by stationing destroyers in the Boston Navy Yard. "

However, the conflict was too great to keep the country neutral. At one point, in the name of freedom and in order to suppress Germany's injustices and barbarities, the United States decided to declare war on Germany. At that time, a large number of workers (including women, according to the text) were needed to reinforce the available resources for the war, in addition, this moment established the time to put the American navy in direct conflict and use all its modernity and structure against enemies.

Even without remaining neutral, Roosevelt concluded his desire to use the Boston Navy Yard to protect the country, as it was paramount in defense at the military level. In addition, it promoted international well-being. According to the text "the Navy department selected the Boston Navy Yard for the construction of the first ship specifically built to transport supplies and provisions for refueling the fleet abroad."

This established the United States as a major world power, as well as showing the entire world how to avoid US enmity>

In at least two hundred words, explain how the ending of the story is an example of situational irony.
miskamm [114]

The facts that are told at the end of the story are in sharp contrast to those that unleash the tragedy that Desiree and her son have to live. Only in the last few lines we discover that her husband knows the true cause of the dark color of the child's skin, which derives from the color of his own mother and has nothing to do with the unknown facts that cover the real origin of Desiree, since his filiation was not known from the beggining.

The irony is graphed in the fact that Desiree's husband could not have ignored that his mother was a dark-skinned woman, as he lived with her for the first eight years of his life and in addition to that, in the end, we also got to know that he was in possession of that letter that informed him the truth, in the probably event that he had forgotten it over the years.

The mistreatment he gave to his slaves was then the most important contradiction, although we can observe that his character softens after the birth of his son, even so having to see him daily was probably a permanent reminder of a shame he was trying to leave behind.
